I've never had one I looked forward to more than today in introducing Sally Quillian Yates as the President's nominee for the Deputy Attorney General of the United States of America.

Sally Yates is going to astonish the United States of America. She is exactly what this country needs in the U.S. Attorney's Office in Washington, DC.

Spend less money.

Until we have that debate, and understand, Iran is our mortal enemy.

We need a similar dialogue, and it needs to transcend Democrat, Republican, and be an American dialogue.

They believe that Islamic law is superior to all other law, and that the rest of us ultimately have to basically yield to Islamic law.

It is explicitly religiously motivated. That doesn't mean that every Muslim is bad.

To start with that notion--I mean, this whole idiocy that you can't talk honestly about the nature of the people who are trying to kill you strikes me as utterly irrational.

Congress can do investigations and Congress can hold hearings, not just anti-administration investigations, but just trying to surface reality.

I do believe that the President and his immediate team have a world view which led them to believe before they came into office that certain strategies would work.

Congress ought to explore reestablishing the USIA as an independent agency.

The fact that we have closed our embassy in Saudi Arabia out of fear for physical safety should be a wake-up call to everybody in this country.

I think it is a very different environment than anything we historically analyzed.

Congress is going to have to reform those things because they are written into the law.

I think working with allies is the only strategy that will work.

We are all in this together, which is why each member has got a coin at their seat.

Thank you, Senator Moran. I think this meeting is a crossroads for us and a good crossroads.

We are here to help. Sometimes you are going to have to tell us where you need the help.
